The first motion made by tho lawyer for the de- feuse, for 2 chango of venue out of the Ms county, Aud beyond WIN and Du Page, *.,@ ‘was promptly ovorruled upon the ground of legal objections which were suflelent. 2 A motion was then made for a change of venus from Judges Jameson and Tuley,. alleging prejudice on thelr part aguinat tho prisoner, with afidavits setting » | forth said prejudice. Before disposing of ‘ this motion, Judge Jameson stated: that he had néver heard of Stern or of the offense of honielde alleged agniast him, and he did . not know one of the persons who had made ‘Ube aflidavit against lilm, and that such afl- davits were perjurics. In conformity with the statute, the Judge allowed the change to some other Judge th the samecircult, but not intl! he had severely rebuked the prisoner, Ais counsel, and the parties who had mado the false accusations, and left it to be under- stooil that it was aconsplracy to obtain de- Jay. Had the Judge gono further, refused sho motion, and punished all partes ay in contempt, the law-abiding people of the com-. 2 munity, who are tired of these professional - tricks to ovado justiee, would have sustained him. Itisadisreputablo practice which Is beeumlug altogether too frequent and ouglit to be stamped out. ‘Tire ‘sgitation of tho question of Canndian independence continues, and that there is a probability the question will bo brought up during the approaching session of Parha- ment fs evidenced by the fact that the Libra- rian of Parliament, who is u leading consti- tutional authority, has been examining its constitutionality, Ile finds that an address to tho Crown stating tho opinion of Parlia- ment that independenco would be for the welfare of tha country wonld be quite con- stitutlonal, and would have numerous prece- 3 “donta In the English Parliament, where va- rious motions have been made from time to time calling for the Independence of Ireland, and he believed that tho moment a re- aquest for separation was constitutionally = made it would be granted,. though per- sonally he is ‘opposed to auch a request, : Moanwhilo the Canadian newspapers are Ht beginning to discuss the question. ‘Tho Patrte and Courrier of ‘Montreal aro urging commercial independence, and tho Verite suggests that Canadians Tuust soon, decido or elso choose between it and annexa- ‘ tion. The Quebee Chronicle, commenting : upon the suggestion of the Pull Mall Ga- fette that annexation would be a good thing, y as the accession of five millions of Canadl- ans to Amerlea would more closely cement the ties between America and England, In- timates that it will be no hardship for Cana- loos to go, bul that the Gazette Is very de- nA eldedty mistaken, If it thinks they will tnke 5 with them any affection of the Mother Coun- Ne try. By the timo Parliament is In session + agitation will have become yery general, aud : where thero Is so much smoke It is evident “i thero must be some fire, + 3 ‘Tne technical part of Judge Molgor'a claim for $185,000 extra compensation on ac- count of sales of revenuestaimps by Gov. ernment clerks during his brief term of servico as Assistant Treasurer at New York 4s completely demolished by Mr. Justices Marinn In the United States Supreme Court decision adverse to the claimant, ‘The law points in the case wero thus stated: Seo. 101 of the Inw of 18H ullowed thé Conimis- ‘ Hloner of Internal Hovenuy to sell to Collectors, Bs Deputy Colltcotora, Postinnsters, stationers, and : Olbers adbesive stamps in amounta nor love than $50, upon tho payment at the tfite of delivery of the amount of duties said stamps ao sold rep resontod, and to allow the sum of not exceed. Pe (ug 5 per cent to the sald purcharere, dee. 170 of tho sume avt deglaress ‘Tout in any D eoilection district where tho fucilltics for the pro- enroment and distribution of adheslvestampe aro av shall be tnnuequate, the Comupissioner fy aus i lborized to furnish ta the Collector or ta the As. . fessor of any distriot, aud to any Assistunt Veeasurer of tho United States, or upy Posts dinator, a euitaule amount of udhestve pumps Shout prepayment therefor, and shall allow {to Partics purchasing shrough thoey uyente) tho Wxhcst rates af commission allawed py law 10 any other partics purchasing tho sano, ‘The words tn brackets are the interpretae tion of the law by the court, Folger held that he had the right under See, Idi to puy ‘ull conunisslons to purchasers from him, ‘nd under See, 170 to recelve full com- uissions agalu for big own perount uso from the Government. In other words, he construed tho Iaw liberally &rainst tho Government and in favor of him- self, and set up a etal to double comnts: sions, Ile lind already allowed the commis: sions provided for in IML to purchasers; he demanded the same commissions over again for himself under Sec, 170, But Justice Harlan polnted out that this construction of the Inw Involved a nmnifest absurdity, Both sections of the law provided for the sale of stainps by, among others, Collectors, Deputy Collectors, and Postmasters, Under See, 161 thoy were to have tho comufilsston if they pald In advance. Under See. 170 they wera to receive stamps without prepayment, and allow commissions to persons who bought from them. If Fole@r’s construction of the law liad been correct, thon Collectors, Der uty Collectors, and Postinasters would be au- thorized under one section to derive a.com: inission from tho sate of stamps for which they had pald in advance, and under anothor section to draw the same commission from tho sales of stamps which they had reeetved as Governinont agents without prepayment. ‘There would In thls case have beon nothing to preyent thom from selling the stamps in thelr oficin! enpnelfy te themselves as_pri- vate Individuals, and then selling them ngatn, and realtzing full commissians on both trats- netions, . This was, in fret, Polger's extremes ly generous Interpretation of the Inw. dutge Iarlan sald further on this point: Upon tho theory advanced by pppollants counsel, a purchnser direct from tha Commis. sloner of Internal Revenge to the amount of $1,000 would be nllowed hut 6 per cent us cone mission, while apo nile through an jatan ‘Treasurer In sented envelopes to the aame pure chaser of the aitine stainps tha Government woukd lose 10 per cent In commlssions—o per cent to the Assistant ‘Treasurer and 4 per cont to tho purciaser, ~ In view of the judgment of two courts upon this elniin, itis perhaps not surprising that none of the Secretaries of the Treasury, or Commissioners of Internal Revenue, or Assistant ‘Trensurers (with the sole excep- tion of Folger) ever upheld his theory of the law as providing for double commissions, either before his term of service or after- wards, FOLGER’S ILLEGAL CLAIM. ‘The ense of Folger vs. The United States Jooks worse for the claimant the moro it Is examined, ‘Tho Court of Claims helt in effect that Judge Folger (the same person President Garfield declined to appoint Sec- retary of the ‘Treasury when he found out the faets), in preferring such a claim had committed © misdemeanor, and rendered himself Hable to punishment therefor. ‘The Supreme Court of the United States, while naturally reluctant to pronounce so harsh a judgment on the Chief Justice of the New York Court of Claims, said that the caso came within the purview of “ the Revised Statutes, Sec. 3,597."" Now this section of the Revised Statutes, thus tenderly referred to by number, Is ng follows: See, 33,507, Tho salaries [of Assistant Treasure era] nnincd in the preceding section shall bo in full for the services of the respective olllcers, aud none of them shall charge or receive any corrnission, pay, or perquisit for any ollicial service of any character or description whatsa- ever, Every atch officericho makes a. hl beed charge or recelecs any auch compensation ahail be quilty of a mtemcanor, and. shall be fined or imprisoned, or both. In spite of this prohibition, which Is mere- ly ntranseript of the statute of 1546, tnstitut- ing the Sub-Trensury at New York, Judge Folger preferred a claim for 21852008 for extra compensation as Sub-Treasurer, As he held that oflce but 220 days, his clatin for double commissions over and above his sal- ary of $8,000 per aniyun amounted to an ay- erage of $818 per day for his whole term of service! 'Tho facts being as stated, tho following ex- tract from the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, rendered by Mr, Justice Ilarlan, ought to have o special interest at this time: Otto XIIL, 57 We como then to thn act of Aug. 6, 1846, C, 0, under which the nppellant wus Appointed tu ollice. «Among the duties Im- posod by that get upon Asalstunt Treasurers was that of “doing and performing all duties 26 flgcal agent of the Government which inlght be Iinposed by that or any ollicr act of Congress, or by any regulation of the Trensury Department innde tu conformity to law, aud also to do and perform all nets and duties required by law or ys direction of nny of the vxceutive depart- ments of the Government, ne agents for paying pensions or for maicing any othor disbursements ‘which elthor of the heads af theso departments may be required by jaw to make, and which ure of acharucter to bo made by the depositories horeby constituted, consistently with tho other duties imposed upon thom.” The same act fixed the sularies of tho Assistant Treasurers and declared: And those éuinries respectively shuil be in full for the serviecs of the respective officers; nor shall elther of thom be permitted to ebarge or recelve any commission, puy, or per- quisit for any oilicial service, of any character or description whatsoover.” ’ It will be observed that whilo tho act of Aug. 25, 184", allows an of fleer having a fixed antury to revolve additionnt pay, extra allowance, or compensation “if the appropriation therefor explicitly states that it ig for such additional pay, extra allowance, or compensation,” the act of 186 vantaing nu such reservation in favor of Asdistant ‘Treasurers of the United States, As to thosa ollicors tho. stat- ute expressly forbids them from receiving any commission, pay, or peruisit, for Any oitlchal service of nny chiiracter or desoription’ whatso- ever. Ant no the law ts to thisday. Revised Stat utes, See, 33,507, ‘The public mighthaye no Interest In Judge Folger or his claim, since It lins been rejected by two courts, but for tha fact that he hns lately been made Secretary of the Treasury, in the dischargo of the dutles of his now oilice hoe will be required to pass upon the merits of hundreds of elalins, none of which possibly may have as Ilttle merit as his own, but most of which will be almost as worth- Jess and {nequitable, It Is not to the interest of the Goyernment or the people that o man having such notions of officlal propriety and. what constitutes a proper clalin as ho exhibit- ed in preferring his own elatin should be at the head of the ‘I'reasury Department and pasa pon the claims of others, Nor fs It 0 good example to clyll servants of the Goy- ernment to promote to so great an oftice ona Who has Intely been ralding the ‘Lrensury from tho outside, Judge Folger’s claim was wholly destitute of equily or Justice, It was purely technlen), and precisely such aclaimasasharp lawyer notoverburdened with prinelple might be expected to make, ‘There aro a numbor of claim agents in Wushington who make a confortable lying by twisting, torturing, and berverting the plain meaning of the statutes in such 4 manner as to extract money from the ‘l'rensury for their elionts or thom- selves, Judge Folger will find his resolution sorely trietl when he Js called to pass upon these claims, ‘hough they muy be mant- fustly Improper, there will be searcely one of thom so wholly destitute of merit us his own claim was found to be by two courts, THE TRIOHINA ‘FRANCE, HUMBUG IN We printed on ‘Tuesday the results gf certain experiments recently made at tho La- boratory of ZoDlogical Ilistology in Parls by M,C, Rebourgen and M, G, Pouchet, In re- gard to American ments infested with tricht- me. ‘The experiments, ag. stated, were thor- ous i, and the results established were as fol- ows; ‘Trichinosed pork was fed to rats, and In- vestigation found no trichinw inthe muscular tissues of tho ruts, but some enoysted trichino were found In the stomach aud intestines; som of the parnsites had been more or less digested, but no trace of focundature was ohserved. Mico were fed sixty daya lberuls ly with trichinosed pork; but the oxaminers could not find any lving trichinw in the luuscles, but found dead onos In the aliment> ary canal, Mr. Colin d'Alfort las also made exami- nations, but has found no Iying trichinw, Io attributes this to the salting, which, he In- slate, kills tho parasite after w thue, but tho time is uneertam. Another chemist, M. Py Bert, says that the (ichinw died of then selves i the salted meats; and he adds that the experlinents indicate. that the tle re- anired for this fs from ong to thres or four tionths. All th gentlemen coneur that thorough cooking is 1 preventive against any danger from trlehtiw in ments, Just now when the politieal economists of Franco and Germany are using tho alleged presence of the “fatal? triehtue in Amerl ent meat as 2 sort of protection to the domes- {ic ment raisers, these oft: repented demon- strations of the harmlesness of Atmertean pork must in due time explode these theu- retical dangers, It is now established by numerous experiments that: 1, Thorough cooking !s an infallible pre- * ventive of all dangers from trichina In ment, 2 That no living trichinw are prodyced In aninials which are fed upon or which cone suine trichinosed pork, the Uriehinw In such cases bey digested and pnssing away like other food, ba 3 That trichine, when they exist tn pork, arokilled inthe meat by the salt, aud that the salt accomplishes this resutt in from one to four months after pack ing. ‘This certainly reduces the possible danger from trichinw to the lowest minimum, ‘Eri: china are found in only a small proportion of pork; when enten In uncooked pork they do not brecil or live in tho consumer, but are dl- Kosted as othor foods and if left in the pork are killed by the salts and Ifthe trichine sur- vive the salt, they are fatally disposed of when the meat is cooked, Nothing could be plainer or more distinctly assuring than the entire harmiesness of trlehinw, whether the meat be used after or before cooking. If the ment be cooked, the trichinw are destroyed; If let alone, the salt Kills Luom as effectinly as does the cook- ing; but, even If the pork be eaten uncoukedt with the trichime, the Jatter perish in tho process of digestion, In the light of. these Investlgations, the arent efforts made in Franco to discredit American pork are really laughable, Mints- ters of State, Health Oficers, and local au. thoritics of every degree have been decelyed, or haye lent themselves to n silly deception, In some parts of Fianco tho practice has been to send men with bells ringing through towns, glying notice that Armerican pork titled with the deadly trichitme was for sale, and warning the public against using it, Ministers of State have issued orders prohtb- ithng its saleand its Importation, All of these devices wero in the interest of those who had domestic meat to sell, and for which they asked greater prices than would buy tho Anierfean iment. THE STAR-ROUTE PROSECUTION. The dawdling and delay in the prosecttion of tho “star-route” cuses Is getting to be disgusting, and there is ittle wonder that the President in his Impatlenes fins called the prosecutors before him and ordered them to bring the suits to trint and convic- tlon if the Government has a case, and it not todrop them, Since the announcement was made somewhat bombasticaily that there was plenty of evidenco to convict the whole gang, the Attorney-General has backbd ont of tho case, leaving: the Department of Jus- tice without any -head, and the Govern ment represented ,by a District-Attorney suspected of Inkewarmness In tho case, and some miscellancous Inwyers who do not appear to fave nny concert of ac- tlon or any -responstbillty in any dl- rection, ‘Two weeks nga, when Col.. Inger- solt declared his unwillingness to make hls arguinent against the information untess all tho arguments could bo made onthe same day, It was conyoniently agreed hat ho should have time to goto New Mexico and |’! on iis return counsel would meet and fix a day for tho hearlng. Col. Ingersoll returned. Notico was served upon the Government counsel, but somehow every one of the coun- sel found it conyentent to be out of town when the notice was served except tho Dis- trict-Attorney, who nppears: to be of nbout as much tise in the case as tho ffth wheel to the couch, Ile was present in court but pro- fessed his innbility to do anything without the other counsel, and the Court at Inst in Its: impatience fixed upon today as tho timo: for the argue anent on the Information, Mere was a polut gained, for It allowed the defendants towake Itappear that they were eager und ready for trial, and that the proseention was harassing them by needless delays, and thus in reality perseeuting them, And now If the irresponsible counsel for the Government can be Induced to get together long enough to make an argument, several days or weeks: must be exhansted over a purely legal ques- tlon, and then, should the point be decided against them, the caso nitist go back ‘to the grand jury on‘ Indietinent aud take its turn, Gulteau’s case, and perhaps others, taking precedence of It, ‘This fs certainly a very singular course for a case whero the Govern- nent counsel has all along claimed that tho evidence was complete, aud that it was only necessary ‘to go to trin] to seeura con- viction. It Is no wonder thot the President has grown restless nnd feels that he will bo heli responsible, and that he has peremptor- ily ordered tha prosecution to go on or elsa acknowledge they have no ease, Such dawdling and delay would disgrace any Jegnt firm ‘engaged in private litigation. Why such incompetency—or nt least Inilferenee— should have been suffered so long in tho prosceution of public robbers fs incompre- hensible, especially as every day's delny Is a polut gained by tho plunderers, and warrants them in.making the assertion that while they are ready and eagor for trial the Government is nelther ready nor willing to give them a hearing, THE DEMAND FOR REBEL BONDS, Aliirst glance Confedorate bonds would not appear to have any valuo as “portable vroperty” beyond the unsavory sentiment connected with them as rofies in museums or nunismatic colluctions, Of lute, however, thera appears to havo sprung up on active demand for them, especlally among English capitalists, though what reason was urging thom to Invest in what {s apparently waste- paper has been a mystery. Our Washington dispatches, however, xlve ong explanation, which, though it Is not very clear In Its de- falls, may partially account for the suddon demand, as It Intimates that there {3 n seourl- ty on deposit In the Bank of England back of them, which speculatora ure eager to got Into thelr possession, How or Just why this doposit. was mado docs not nppenr, except that it was a Southern de Poalt innde at somo timo during tho War, and was controlled by five trust ees, Who collect tha Interest on it annually, and that Judah P, Benjamin and Jeif Dayis Ard nniong the trustees, Ib further appears that somo parties have made contructs with our Government to get this money, but hava failed, and that English speculators aro in- vesting iu these bons, which, of course, can be bought for about the price of waste paper, with the expectation of recovering the moucy Jn tho Bank of England in payment for them, Other #peculators In Holland and Belgium aro also at work for the same purpose. As there Is o xenoral rush to recover thismonvy, why should not the United States put in its claim? As longus the origlnal depositors have undo no clan upon it, and there is no Confederate Government to demand it, why hus not our Gavernment the only Valld claim upon It, if sich monvy oxists, as prize of war? Whoever deposited tt, or however It was depostled, Its purpose was to ald the Rebels tn breaking down the Govern nent, and It belongs lo it as clearly as tho ating, veasels, and war material that were used by the Rebols. But here comes a cable dispatch which sects to knock tn tho heat the notion of a sium of Rebel money In the Bank of En- gland: Losnox, Noy. 2.—The Mall Mall Gazette anya: “There Is no truth whatever in tho stetement that there isn large amount of money in the Hank of Eogland deposited to tho ercdit of tho Confederate Government, and avilable for the payment of Contedorate bonds. Wo belleve tt does not hold ¢ alngle penny, and doubt whether there Is any sueh money tho any bani in this country. Tho whole story ta gross fabrication, anda fitting product of & specutnuon that bus no substantial foundation,” There 1s, however, another view of the ease. Ltiimy be possible that these apecula- tors aro buying up tho bonds with the Inten- tlon of accumulating them and Jaylig thom away until we have drifted along fifteen or twenty years further from tha febellion and its memories, and then coming befyre Con- gress and asking it to redeent them upon tho score of National honor and gvou falih, An- other generation henes thoy may Caney that the War of tho Reballion will be as much a matter of tho pastas the Mexlenan War, and that thoy can coftvines Congress that these hous were issted by a great’ revolutlon- ary faction, representing the sirigele of the Pro-Slayvery Demoeratic party ngatnst tho Abolition Republican party to get control of the Government, and thata debt Ineurved {In such a manner ought to be redeemed, nud {f not redeemed that tho people of this coun- try will be gullty of a speeles of repudintion, Whether this boa the purpose of the specu- Intors or not, it Is Iueumbent upon the Solleitor of the ‘Treasury to call the attention of the Dritish Government to this deposit, and to put in a strung claim for It as tho property of tho Government growing out of the War. The British Government ean hard- ly wish to hold it any longer In Its custody, and would undonbtedly be glad to fad some- boty to whom It belong: ‘ a TECHNICAL SCHOOLS AND EXPORTS. The Loulsvitle Courtcr-Journal Is making an effort to have the high school of that city converted into a schoul of technical trati- {ug. There are many arguments In favor of such achange. The mission of tho public school has been property stated by the Na- tlonal Commission of Extucation, ‘to provice training and to teach knowledge of general application and utility.” ‘Tho same authority hos further said: “What Is needed Is to supplement the public school with a system ofspeeial schools fortechileal and industrial training.’ The high schoolsin cities are reatly stipplomental to the primary and es- sential purpose of tho common schools, nud might be made more servieable to the com- inuuity by taking on wt practical rather than 8 collegiate character.’ But the Courter- Journal, following an argument made by the New York Bulletin, is evidently mistaken fn urging as 0 reason for the proposed chango that the eduertion of an Industrial class Is eateulated to develop and promote the man- ufactured oxports of this country, and to that extent increase the wealth of the Amer- Jean people, ‘The following extract fram tho Bulletin will suillelently Ulustrate the Tne of reasoning: Industrint oduoation, constdored from n buat nese standpoint, thorefore, iimpiles a consitora- tion of dulturs aud conts. jo purpose of emphasizing the importance of stich an educn- tou It ls only nevessary to refer to a few cont> mercini statiatics iu regard to tho relative wealth which England, France, and tho Unite.

While itis true that the resottrees of this country lu rw material for inanutact- Urlng and in food for the sustenance of the Industrhtl classes are vastly superlor to those of Kngland and Franee, which nevertheless export many times as meh hi manufactures, the lack-of skilled Inbor will not neeount for the dlscrepnney, American manufactured woods can never compote in the markets of the world with the manulacturesof Engtand, France, and other countries, except upon the samo plane of prices, aud the prices will searecly rench the same plane so longus a duty ig levied In this conntry on goods of forelgn manufacture ranging from 40 {o 100 per cont. Food may continue to be abuu- dant and cheap; raw material may be pro- ituced in great quantities, and be available ut low prices; and to these advantages may be added a growing supply of native skilled Inbor In all tho branches of Industry; but Just solong as the American manufacturers shall be able to obtain from 80 to 10 per cent moro for thelr goods than the price at which the same goods ean be imported from other countries the Amerlean manufacturers will not seok forcizn markets for thelr gootls, ‘This 1s not an argument against the encour. Agement of special tratniu and industriat education, the increase of which will boone of the most efticlen. agents in breaking down tho barriers to foreign markets; but it ls well to keep in mind all the obstactes that stand in. the way of American cnterprise in reaching out to foreign countrics to find markets for tho Aimerlean manufactures, It iy more likely that nn oxtensive system of technical tralulng for the trades shall follow upon an enlargement of the markets for American goods than that an incrense of American ex- ports shall result from an extension of Jn- dustrial and technical education, ——_———.
